About Medicare

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, sometimes called ESRD).

Medicare is available to most U.S. citizens and legal residents who have earned their right to Medicare by working and paying taxes for a given amount of time.
